Mozzarella sticks and pizza were phenomenal. A little on the louder side but we sat closer to the bar so I think would be fine in the primary dining room. Great place for a family dinner especially if you have kids or great for a drink before the shows they have next door. Great diverse draft beer selections. Most underrated menu item: their ranch dressing. If you are a ranch and pizza person it’s great and also great with the mozz sticks.

The pizza was very lack luster. The service was great but that couldn't bring up my review. The salad was soggy but then again its a pizza place not a salad place. The pizza crust was solid as a rock and somewhat cold by the time it got to the table. I like Quad city style pizza but this wasn't a great representation of it. The place itself wasn't too loud so great place to grab a bite catch up with friends before a show at second city. But its food to fill your stomach, not really for enjoying.
Roots Handmade Pizza - Second CityResponded on January 2, 2024
Hi Joshua, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your business and value your feedback. I am sorry we missed the mark as far as food was concerned, I can assure you that this is not the norm for us. I would love to invite you back to give us another try and can assure you that Roots pizza is definitely for enjoying. On fridays we offer a 1/2 off wine deal that would be perfect for catching up with friends and having some wine and pizza before a second city show.

The pizza was very good. The breadsticks were very tasty. I was kind of surprised that they don’t do much for birthdays, I guess that could use a little improving. Overall very nice experience in a nice newer restaurant on the north side. I never knew the Quad cities had such culture.

Hi Doc! We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the food and the service. I'm sorry our birthday celebration did not meet your personal standards.

The margheritta pizza was really terrible. The dough was too thick and it had no fresh or stringy cheese and all it had were parm. Really really poor quality.
Roots Handmade Pizza - Second CityResponded on November 19, 2023
Hello Ebichu, I'm sorry you did not enjoy the margherita pizza. We would love to have you back to try one of our other specialty pizza's or a build your own pizza. We offer free slices after 9pm when you spend $10 or more just ask your server about the late-night slice deal, this would be the perfect opportunity for us to redeem ourselves with a classic slice. If you are interested please reach out to me directly. We hope to see you soon! Many thanks, Tyanna Jones
